Wintertime Record-Breaking Addiction Treatment Center Digital Marketing Case Study
CLIENT: East Coast Addiction Treatment Center
INDUSTRY: Addiction Treatment
CAMPAIGN: SEO, Local SEO, Google Ads, Facebook Ads
STRATEGY: Deploy best practices digital marketing incorporating Organic SEO, Google Business Profile Optimization, and PPC Advertising via Google Ads and Facebook.
Background, Goals & Execution
The client in this case study came to us with two main goals:
The client had historically recorded an average admissions count of 2-4 admits per month during what they termed their “low season” which ranged from the beginning of November through the end of January with January being their most difficult month.
A serious challenge Lead to Recovery faced was the lack of historical Google Analytics data and digital conversion statistics. The only analytics data provided by the client were cursory reports from their prior agency that showed 2-8 visitors per day from Google organic alone. It was quickly determined the client’s lack of conversion statistics were due to their prior agency not installing proper channel attribution tracking.
Challenge accepted! We customized and deployed a strategy for the client well in advance of the winter months to ensure the organic and local SEO would have enough time to take hold in terms of capturing top tier search results for the client’s main keyword phrases.
